# Drain and Sewer Services in Başakşehir

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/basaksehir-drain-services/

When you need drain unclogging in Başakşehir, Cantley comes to housing complexes, villas and workshops across the district 24/7 and clears blocked drains and sewer lines without breaking tiles or walls. CCTV drain camera inspection, a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting are our main tools, and we decide which one to use only after we have seen the inside of the pipe.

Most buildings in Başakşehir are part of large housing complexes, so we usually plan our work together with the site management and the technical team. If we solve a problem in your flat and spot a warning sign on the shared line, we report it to management and, where needed, share the camera footage. It speeds the job up noticeably when the technical team knows where the inspection covers are.

## Planned neighbourhoods and an industrial zone side by side

Most of Başakşehir was built in a planned way after the 1990s. Kayaşehir and Altınşehir are mostly multi-block housing estates, while Bahçeşehir is dominated by villas, houses with gardens and complexes with pools. The plumbing in newer buildings is young, but heavy use still shows. Sediment builds up in shared lines serving hundreds of flats, and rain drains on wide balconies and terraces fill with soil and leaves. In villas and houses with gardens, garden drains, landscaping soil and sand carried in by irrigation water are common problems. In homes with many bathrooms, rarely used drains drying out and giving off a smell is a complaint typical of these buildings. Most of these problems can be solved without breaking anything, through the existing drain openings.

The İkitelli Organised Industrial Zone in the south of the district is one of Istanbul's large production areas. In the workshops, factories and warehouses here, canteen drains, staff toilets and floor drains in production areas cause different blockages from those in homes. Metal dust, paint residue and grease can leave harder deposits than we see in residential lines. In these facilities we plan the work around the shift schedule and look inside the line with a camera to separate the sections that only need cleaning from those that need renewal. That keeps production downtime short, and the camera footage is handed over to the facility management. As new projects continue in the district, the number of flats and businesses connected to shared lines keeps growing. In new buildings, the first blockages are often caused by usage habits.

## Drain problems in new complexes and industry

Our work in the district is split between the shared lines of new housing complexes, the garden and bathroom drains of villas, and businesses in the industrial zone.

### Sewer Cleaning (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/sewer-cleaning/)

In the multi-block complexes of Kayaşehir and Altınşehir, the shared line carries the load of hundreds of flats. We flush these lines from end to end with pressurised water and hand the management camera footage from before and after cleaning, so the difference is clear to see. This also lets the different problems between blocks be seen separately.

### Balcony Drain Unclogging (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/balcony-drain-unclogging/)

On the wide balconies and terraces of new complexes, plant pot soil, leaves and leftover construction sand block the drain grate. Before rainwater reaches the living room, we remove the grate, clear the line and flush the downpipe all the way down. We also remind the complex's landscaping team how often the grates need cleaning.

### Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/shower-bathtub-drain-unclogging/)

In multi-bathroom villas in Bahçeşehir, rarely used shower drains dry out and smell, while frequently used ones clog with hair and soap. We tell the two cases apart, then either fix the trap or clear the floor drain with the drain snake. If the smell comes from the shared stack, we check that with the camera too.

### Drain Unclogging (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/drain-unclogging/)

In the floor drains of İkitelli workshops, a mix of metal dust, shavings and grease leaves a hard sludge. We break this sludge loose and remove it with suitable attachments, and we show the facility manager where a grate and sediment trap should be fitted on the drain. The cutting attachments scrape away the hard deposit without damaging the inner surface of the pipe.

### Manhole Unclogging (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/manhole-unclogging/)

The manholes in the common areas of complexes with pools and landscaping fill with soil and garden waste brought in by irrigation water. We lift the covers, remove the buildup from outside, and tell the site staff which manholes need regular maintenance. We recommend putting manholes that tend to overflow on a planned maintenance list.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why do the drains in our new complex in Başakşehir clog, isn't the plumbing recent?

New plumbing does not prevent blockages, because they are mostly caused by use and by foreign material left in the line. Wet wipes, grease and leftover mortar pieces from construction build up in new pipes too. In multi-block complexes, the load on shared lines is also high. Once we look with the camera, it becomes clear whether the cause is usage or a construction fault, and management can decide accordingly.

### Why does the garden drain at our villa in Bahçeşehir overflow in the rain?

It usually overflows because the garden drain, or the manhole it connects to, is full of soil, leaves and landscaping sand. The irrigation system and rainwater keep carrying this material into the drain. After cleaning the manhole and the line, we tell you whether a grate or a gravel trap in front of the garden drain would help. Cutting back irrigation times during rainy periods also eases the load.

### What waste should we not pour down the drain at our workshop in İkitelli?

Metal shavings, paint, thinner, grease and dusty wash water from production should not go down the drain. This waste hardens at the bottom of the pipe and forms deposits that even a drain snake struggles with, and some of it also damages PVC drain pipe. Fitting sediment-trap grates on floor drains and letting wash water settle first extends the life of the line. If a blockage has happened, we first see the type of deposit with the camera. The footage makes it easier for you to decide which section needs renewing.

### Can we, as site management in Başakşehir, have a full line inspection done?

Yes, you can. We inspect the block outlets, the shared drainage line and the manholes one by one with the camera and record them. We mark the sections where the footage shows sediment, roots, subsidence or reverse slope, and explain them to management in order of priority. Lines that need cleaning can be flushed with pressurised water in the same visit, and we draw up the date plan with management so residents can be notified in advance. During the inspection, we also tell you beforehand how long the water will be cut in each block.
